Since 2015, I have been a full-time film producer based in the South West. As a visual storyteller, my work encompasses all aspects of production—from concept and research to filming, editing, and promotion. I have collaborated with local and national organisations, companies, and high-profile artists to bring stories to life for both the big and small screen.
Through my documentary work, I have partnered with numerous heritage organisations to explore subjects ranging from Roman history and the 1920s to music legacies and adventurers. My portfolio includes large-scale short films, such as the dance musical film "Anything Goes" for the Agatha Christie Festival. With my work being featured on the BBC and international television.
My collaborative projects have reached diverse audiences through:
- Online Platforms: Social media, YouTube, and various websites.
- Exhibitions: Major museum installations.
- Broadcasting: Amazon Prime, BBC, and Chicago TV.
- Cinema: Screenings across the UK and in New York.
- Conferences and Campaigns: Local and national events, including awareness campaigns for domestic abuse and suicide prevention.
Dedicated to raising the profile of independent film in the South West, I frequently deliver lectures at organisations and colleges. I gave ten talks in 2025 across six venues . Additionally, I lead film production workshops, most recently working with various organisations , with one of the film produced a film focused on autism.
In 2015, I founded the English Riviera Film Festival in Torbay and continue to serve as its Director. Over the last decade, I have led a team of volunteers to grow the festival into an international event that has screened over 350 films and hosted more than 50 industry professionals for panels and workshops. The festival also features an online interview series, which in 2022 included Star Trek director Nicholas Meyer.
